The moon with S5600 (S5200)

[Mattias77]

Well, I searched the forum but didn't find any thread about photos of the moon with the S5600, so I start a new one.

Here is my attempt (fine jpg, handheld, only cropped and resaved):

Nice shot, might I suggest something like a tripod and use of the selftimer to further improve your shot?

Other moon topics (there are more, but these are started by me ):

Thanks!

I will try your advice as soon as I can afford a tripod. Money is always the problem.

HeHe...I'd save my money Mattias, your hand held shot is better than most tripod jobs of the moon I've seen recently (especially mine).

 

[Marcel Geers]

The shot really isn't bad at all! The 1/512 seconds helped with that, but imagine what it would be with something like a tripod! Even better!

Haha! Thanks! I will take your advice into consideration as well.

Fast shutter, open aperture in Manual mode with focus on moon...

1) Can just about escape tripod.

2) Don't overexpose moon.

Congratulations mate

Your pic is similar to mine - same moon anyhow - but taken in central australia near Uluru. You're also right about exposure ... you need to expose for 'bright reflected sunlight' and as such a 1/500 or thereabouts will do fine. My pic is with the F5000 stretched out to 22x zoom, and also includes Jupiter coming out from behind the moon after its confluence with the moon, last March.
Again, congrats on a good pic

Well, it may be the same moon, but definitely not the same location. This was taken in Karlskrona, Sweden, a few days ago. I have taken some new pictures of the "day moon" today, but haven't had the time to check out the pictures yet.
